Thats a sweet setup and its what I'd like to do to mine, but 1500 is pretty steep. Still will probably do it, I don't like the way mine drives.

I'm probably gonna go with this setup, just waiting to see if a recall or new service bulletin pops up to address the loose steering. Although I've been waiting for a year now! I don't want to be denied service because of after market parts. The last dealer wouldn't do a alignment on mine because of the Fox stabilizer, they said the after market stabilizer was throwing off the alignment. How did yours drive before you put all the Yeti parts on?

I have had the exact opposite experience with my dealer. They were not able to align my JLUR correctly after the Mopar 2" lift. After a few attempts it was decided to add a SteerSmart adjustable tie rod in. The dealer installed it and did an alignment. They have no issue with the aftermarket parts affecting any services, alignment or warranty issues. Contacted FCA to double check and they will not warranty the StreetSmart tie rod of course but anything it touches is covered. I have been to a total of three dealers in my area and none of them could change the oil correctly or leave my tires inflated where I want them. I have finally found the dealer I will continue to take my Jeep too....hope you find yours too.

This is how the Rubicons should have been built from the factory. Nice job. I'll be doing mine but one piece at a time. First thing is the track bar....if it ever comes back in stock that is hahaha

drive before was a little bit shaky at higher speed and when bump it goes to different direction, drive now is great and straight. If there would be a recall that will replace my jeep 2018 with 2019 model will just put back the stock parts. :)

Oh shoot i think i have throw the box already which i believe is still there. Is that needed?
They are necessarily needed but serve a purpose. They are partially decorative and offer a clean, finished look but also cover the end for those that live in a rust prone area. There will be a cap and o-ring in a bag if I remember right.

Anybody do this yet?

I have the full setup it on the way. No steering issues with the Jeep, I just like it sharp.
I'm with you, just want to stave off any steering nonsense from the poor quality OEM steering bits. I'll be looking to install this setup after I return home from vacation in a few weeks.

Yeah iI saw when I was looking at box before Installation, and completely forgot it. You mean they are necessary or aren’t necessary?
